Dear list, dear ribosome, |

|

I am just a user of gentoo and this is my first post to this list. As |
| 4 |
the traffic is very low, I guess I can afford to briefly express how |
| 5 |
thankful I am for ribosomes work. |
| 6 |
My perception may be skewed, but to me the work of ribosome has been |
| 7 |
very visible and I guess it is fair to say that ribosome contributed |
| 8 |
big time to the fact that gentoo became the distribution of choice for |
| 9 |
biologist. |

He was always quick in replying, writing new ebuilds and I have very |
| 11 |
lively memories when he developed the ebuild for the staden package |
| 12 |
such that it would also run on my sparc. Thank you very much Olivier |
| 13 |
for your work and I hope that there will be others continuing. |

cheers and all the best |
